Year:1999 Mileage:239900 Color: is in great condition
Location:

Winfield, Pennsylvania, United States

Winfield, Pennsylvania, United States

Over-all Condition
For sale is my dad's dependable TDI Beetle. It was my daily driver, but I bought my own car. The bug is awesome! The first owner was a lady. Dad is the second owner and keeps it in great condition. He is an owner/operator trucker and loves his diesels. When we got the bug, Dad mainly used it on the highway on his commute. I've also driven the car quite a bit, and I'm a girl. Dad just put new snow tires on the car around 2,000 miles ago. Miles aren't exact, as it's still being driven here and there, but after all this time it still runs with its ORIGINAL CLUTCH, STRUTS, AND SHOCKS. That's proof that the overall condition of this car is fantastic!

Good Specifics
  • Leather interior is nearly perfect.
  • Exterior is in great condition
  • Engine runs smoothly
  • Transmission works perfectly.
  • Averages 43 mpg. Doesn't seem to matter how you drive it.
  • Top of the engine replaced at about 140,000 miles (due to water pump quitting, allowing the timing belt to jump)
  • Timing belt kit replaced at 218,648 miles
  • Serpentine belt replaced at 218,648 miles
  • Vacuum line replaced at 218,648 miles
  • Glow plug wire harness replaced at 218,648 miles
  • 2 wire connectors replaced at 218,648 miles
  • Power supply relay replaced at 218,648 miles
  • New snow tires put on around 2,000 miles ago
  • Hitch is installed (Use for small hauls)
  • Smoke free
  • Odor free
  • Pa inspection good through 8-14
  • Registration good through 9-14
  • Original clutch
  • Original shocks
  • Original struts

Bad Specifics
  • Normal wear and tear
  • Leather - tiny cut on the driver seat, and some wear on the driver's seat (pictured) and around the gearshift (pictured).
  • Exterior - tiny dent on the bottom left side rocker panel I think and a missing inner fender. Some minor chips and scratches. Check out the pictures. It's not bad. I'm just being thorough. One pictured paint chip about the size of a small piece of gravel (pictured)
  • Gear linkage could use lubrication or something. Sometimes it's hard to shift into first gear.
  • Shocks and struts work fine, but you may want to replace them for a smoother ride.
  • It hasn't been a problem lately, but in the interest of full disclosure sometimes a small lever (I forget what it's called, but I'll show you.) in the engine sticks and prevents the car from starting. If you wiggle the lever the car starts right up. If you keep it oiled you should have no problem
  • Hitch is starting to rust (pictured) but can easily be removed.
  • AC lost its charge. We have the part to fix it, but Dad wasn't able to do the work.
  • Headliner is beginning to sag around the console, but not badly. (pictured)
  • Again, I am NOT a mechanic. I tried to represent the car thoroughly, but please come see it to judge for yourself. (Due to weather, I didn't get all the bug specks, etc off the car before taking pictures. As I said, it is still driven. Please keep that in mind when looking at the pictures.) Thanks, and happy bidding!

World Car Of The Year down to its final four

Wed, 13 Mar 2013


Judges for the World Car of the Year Award have narrowed down the finalists to just four vehicles. Out of a total of 42 entries, only the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT-86 and Volkswagen Golf remain standing. For Volkswagen, this marks the second consecutive year the company has had an entry among the finalists, and the fourth time since 2009. In order to qualify, a vehicle must be on sale on two continents during the span of time between January 1, 2013 and May 30, 2013. A panel of 66 journalists from 23 countries then vote on the finalists.
Three vehicles have made the cut for the last round of voting on the 2013 World Performance Car as well, with the Cayman/Boxster and FR-S/BRZ/GT-86 running against the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Meanwhile, the Renault Zoe, Tesla Model S and Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid are duking it out for the World Green Car Award. Finally, the World Car Design of the Year Award is up for grabs between the Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar F-Type, and the Mazda6. Check out the full press release below. Overall winners will be presented at the 2013 New York Auto Show.

Tanner Foust checks out his new VW Beetle GRC rally car

Thu, 11 Sep 2014

Racing driver and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust is a very busy guy. After all, he's competing in rounds of both Global Rallycross series and FIA World Rallycross Championship, not to mention his TV duties. However, we probably shouldn't feel too sorry for him, because his job puts him behind the wheel of some truly crazy machinery.
Case in point is his latest ride in Global Rallycross - the Volkswagen Beetle GRC. The German company claims that this all-wheel drive Bug makes around 540 horsepower from its 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and can shoot to 60 in under 2 seconds. Plus, if this video is any indication, this Volkswagen sounds like a machine gun when throwing revs at idle, and it can do some wonderfully easy four-wheel drifts.
Previously, Foust was driving a VW Polo for Andretti Autosport in GRC, but the team unveiled the look of the Beetle GRC at the Chicago Auto Show. Now, Foust is finally getting to show off his new office to the public, and like VW's tagline for the new car claims, it's way hotter than Herbie.
